Score some fucking runs thread

[MAD]

First of all, the 11 hits and two runs in 22 innings have just been a pleasure to watch. Not that we should be surprised at this point. 13th in the NL in runs scored, 11th in OPS, and last in average with RISP.

Second of all, while this team clearly needs some hitting, either from the current group of hoopleheads or outside the organization (even for, god forbid, a good right handed hitter), did anyone else think it's whiny of him to be bitching about it in the press? Or has the slapdick offense just put me in a foul mood?

"The only thing I talked about last season was a need for a left- hand bat in a predominantly right-handed lineup who could hit the ball for power and drive in some runs," he said. "You look at our production last year and it was mainly from the right side.

"We didn't bring [ Jim] Edmonds back and Edmonds hit quite a few home runs, so we needed a left-handed bat. That's it. That was what I mentioned, that we could use a nice productive left-hand bat in the middle of our right-handed hitting."

Piniella paused for some time before finishing his thoughts and finally said:

"Look, we still need a left-hand bat who can hit for some power and drive in runs."

They won 97 games last year with a mostly right-handed hitting lineup.  The problem was that nobody--right or left-handed--hit in the playoffs.

Lou's starting to sound as stupid as Dusty.

Agreed. If Lee, Soto, Ramirez, and Soriano all were in the lineup and hitting like they did last year you wouldn't hear a god damn peep about left handed hitting.

I'd rather have this year's Lee. But understand where you're going.

All he did was answer a question put to him in a press conference. I don't think it's whiny at all.

And the fact that they would have been better off bringing back Jim Edmonds is either funny as hell or fucking painful. I still haven't figured out which one.

You've been looking at Jimmy's home and away splits for this year haven't you? You pervert.
